Soccer United Fan Council

The questions apparently varied depending on your responses. I chose Single Table over Post-Season Tournament and so was not asked to choose between two-legged series and knockouts. I forget what I was asked instead. I get why, but since they are likely to keep playoffs despite my opposition I wish they had asked me anyway, because I prefer knockouts over 2-legged ties despite your persuasive plowing point.

I did answer their open ended question saying I don't like 2-game series because when the team who won the first game scores first in the second game it just kills the atmosphere of the second game, and that happened far too often last year.

I also found the opening questions bizarre. For sports for which I watched fewer than 10 games, why do they think I could possibly answer with any accuracy exactly how many games I watched. And even if I could do they really care if I watched 4 NBA games or 5? Is that going to change anything?

The plowing answer was just and easter egg for Midas Mulligan & Kjbert . Glad you caught it.

This was my real answer:

I know that three-team groups sounds weird, but FIFA is going to do it for the 48-team World Cup and apparently the deal is that each team in a group plays twice with the top two teams in the groups advancing.
I think it would be awesome

And they kept the answers on how many NBA/NHL/NFL games (they didn't ask me about baseball because I said I don't care at all about it) on the same scale.

Watching 6 NFL games (out of 16/team/year) is a lot more impactful/caring than watching 6 NBA games (out of 82/team/year).

I also am curious as to why they did not consider college sports. I think there's probably a good overlap with college sports fans and soccer fans.

The difference is that in the World Cup, if you aren't the host then every game is at a neutral venue. That wouldn't work here, so you'd have to do a four-game series to make it fair. If you're going to have the top two going through then that leaves you with three rounds still to play, presumably two-legged each (final permitting) too, and then you're looking at even longer a play-off series than we already have.
 
They just emailed their results for surveys:

Will there now be 3rd kits? change both Home and Away each season?
They want to get into the gambling.

interesting they are doing this "report" been doing these questions for over a year and never seen one till now ( unless it went to my spam and therefore i just erased it)
 
This is good stuff. I brought up the specific points mentioned in the VAR section, so hopefully there will be some action there. Fans really need to know why decisions are made - particularly where a decision is not overturned or reviewed.
